[Elecraft] Audio mod for split operation

[Tom Althoff]

I've been looking at the red LED mod for split operation.   For blind hams
or people like me who don't watch the rig constantly while operating I've
been thinking about adapting the mod to switch in a padding resistor in one
leg of the stereo headphone jack.

When operating non-split you would hear the sidetone in both ears.  When in
split mode the sidetone would appear to come from either the left or the
right headphone to audibly remind you that you are in split.

If you are working a DX pileup split and you hear your sidetone in both
headphones....yell to yourself "UP! UP! UP!".

Any opinions / dangers / drawbacks to this approach?
